A unique combination of lawyers and regulatory consultants providing end-to-end solutions to UCITS management companies, AIFMs, depositaries, administrators and transfer agents regarding the full spectrum of their regulatory needs.
Comprehensive Regulatory Support
Our offering brings together the legal expertise of Arendt & Medernach and the operational capabilities of Arendt Regulatory and Consulting to provide investment fund managers, depositaries and administrators with a full spectrum of regulatory services and managed solutions built around four key pillars: IFM Governance & Organisation, Risk Management & Valuation, Asset Servicing & Back Office and IT Infrastructure & Solutions.
We can accompany your organisation in its core, day-to-day activities through the entire lifecycle, beginning with set-up and licencing process, through licence extensions to end-of-life management. Not only can we draft for you a full suite of template contracts, policies and procedures but our intimate knowledge of the regulatory environment and the fund industry from both legal and operational perspectives enables us to offer you complete solutions, including on-the-ground operational implementation using your existing human and IT infrastructure or helping you design and implement one.
Moreover, starting with quick health checks, through mock inspections and assistance on actual regulatory inspections or investor complaints and litigation our experts may future proof your organisation to pre-empt any regulatory pitfalls and/or help you navigate an acute crisis.
